Privacy is quickly becoming a significant topic in the 21st century. As humans evolve to use more technology in their everyday life they also invite a cadre of new watchmen. Humans simply don’t want to be forced to give up privacy rights to use that technology. A great example is the cellphone; should the citizens of Montana make a choice between using their cellphone, thus giving Verizon (and the NSA) their GPS location / conversations / etc., or being a Luddite who has a modicum of privacy? The Montana constitution has a provision stating citizens have a right to privacy — it’s time we enacted laws enforcing our constitutional right.
